Extendible bond (or extendable bond[1]) is a complex bond with the embedded option for a holder to extend its maturity date by a number of years.
[2][3] Such a bond may be considered as a portfolio of a straight, shorter-term bond and a call option to buy a longer-term bond.
This relatively rare type of bond works to the advantage of investors during periods of declining interest rates.
Sometimes, the bond may be structured so as to give an option to extend to the issuer.
[5] In this case, pricing will be similar to that of a callable bond.
